I always wonder about these things……….I mean, how rare can they be? Ebay always have them listed and Esprit International do as well. Personally, I think they are cheap imported novelties that are produced on demand. I don’t think they are vintage.

A quirky think though.

I have a few things in this category myself, namely a Kajagoogoo pen, some ‘vintage’ patches, and an ‘original’ 1983/84 poster or two………….so vintage that they are perfectly white and crisp.

An interesting post, Steve. Hopefully, somebody will shed some light on these kinds of item. 🙂

Hey Steve, Ragged Tiger.
I also have a couple of vintage Kajagoogoo posters via Ebay that are in great condition. I really do think they are vintage tho. I was at a seaside town in 1998 and purchased a load of old stock Duran posters for £1 each and they were as crisp as they were when they had been £5 over 10 years earlier. I got loads of George stuff from the guy when I was much younger when the shop was just of the front in Rhyl 🙂

Maybe some of this stuff is genuine after all. My posters are suspiciously un-yellowed though, hence my doubts.

And I agree, the paperclip is way overpriced. A good talking point though!

Duran posters for £1 each? Denny, you are lucky…. We had a similar shop here that closed in the late 1980’s. I purchased tons of badges, patches, and posters for next to no money. The pity is that I only have a couple of items left. Several house moves and the passing of time has seen off the rest……. 😦

They did have 60% off or something like that recently, it had been down to £8 or something but I still doubted the integrity of the item! Turns out there were boxes of them at the office where KajaFax was originally made, looks like they are a genuine piece!

The Duarn posters I got back then are all nice and and crisp. I got a few out of the shop display thing as they were the last ones left. Those ones are a little battered but still in great condition. They only had one Culture Club one tho. Years before I had gotten a couple of George on his own but they haven’t survived very well at all. They didn’t have any of those left for me to get a replacement 😦
